i do have the HIDs, i have some pics of them but they arent very good so ill have a photo shoot soon. i haven't been able to get HIDs to work with the high beam yet. there is some kind of mechanism that moves it to make it look like a high beam but i havent hooked it up yet.

the cutoff is pronounced, like any would be on a projector. the projector isn't tsx quality, but it is much better than other ebay kits ive seen, thats for sure.

Sorry, I havent had a chance to take a picture of the cutoff for both lights on a nice wall/building. the light output with HID's as you can see is very bright.
my reason for getting these projectors was so that I could put in HID's without BLINDING everyone.

LTL0540, i remember you had problems before since you have the DRL's. If it was kinda complicated to wire the relay maybe you should post in the thread about it or send it to me and ill add it to the original post.

yep that is exactly what im talking about. if you can see the cutoff is still there on the left side, but it flips it up in the middle. your car looks black in the first pic!

yup, i guess they keep the cutoff there so you wont blind oncoming traffic even with highbeams? i dont know LOL; as for my car looking black, i think it was the lighting of the pic, and i messed around with the colour saturation (its still vista blue)

its was just pretty much:
battery --> relay harness w/ built-in capacitor --> projector harness --> then attach the bulbs' wires to the ballasts, and then finally to the HID bulbs.
just the usual, with an extra harness/capacitor combo which solved my problems

at the moment im trying to figure out how im gonna wire in fogs (no stock harness). I bought ones that had halos and am planning to tap my sidemarkers :P thus i'll have quad halos.

oh ok, i havent had to use relays for anything but i thought it was more complicated than that. as for the halos, you mean you found some aftermarket ones like that? i havent seen anything like that yet. i know foucs09nyman made his own. not my taste but thats pretty sweet. are you sure your car isnt wired for them already? sometimes ford does it that way just to keep everything the same. if not just wire them to the battery with your own switch.

The relays + capacitor is the solution for HID's.
I had a few more issues because of:
1) faulty ballast
2) loose bulb wiring (the plugs arent that well-insulated on the projector, so i ended up having to quick-disconnect one of the connections) --> no pics unfortunately

as for the halo fog lights --> eBay there was an option to have them plain or add halos (under the glass); supposedly, the switch they provide lets you switch between powering the halos, or the bulbs (one at a time only, so no akwardness)? i just realized actually, since the halo is under the glass and closer to the halogen bulb, i hope it doesnt get WAY too hot.
I"ll be getting them soon, and i'll post pics once i have them in/struggle getting them in.
